Category: Kids and why you can’t kill them

The rules of relationship have nothing to do with farm animals and dairy products. If you go with the ‘wisdom’ of that book a while back, The Rules had everything to do with playing head games, not being yourself, being a tease and keeping the mystery. CoupleDumb is here to say, WRONG! These rules are an affront to healthy relationships! If this is the stuff you are teaching your kids, they will be miserable. Yes, we are saying ‘The Rules’ are stupid!

Tuesday is kid day and this week is about good sex. This is kind of an oxymoron. It’s gross talking about sex around kids. We spend more time fretting about how to explain sex to our kids and trying to retard their development than actually having them understand the profundity of the topic. Shame on us.

This week we are discussing Husbands vs. Wives. Not like a death match kind of discussion but since we brought it up, who would win? Don’t worry. You can answer that in your head if you fear reprisal. But while on the topic, this is an important topic to investigate specifically when it comes to kids. Or in this sense, your audience!

Welcome to Tuesday at CoupleDumb where our theme this week is how much men suck. Wait! That’s not our theme. This week we are writing about being a good husband. Since it is Tuesday, we need to write about children, therefore we are writing about being a dad, which means we are writing about how much men suck. Damn!

This week is dedicated to wives. Are you doing everything you can to be the best? Now before you get upset that we are focusing on wives, just know that Paul is currently writing tips for husbands for next week. That’s right! The perfect husband is going to give up his secrets. But today is Tuesday and we dedicate this day to parenting. Today’s suggestion is directed to the wife/mother. How do you balance the two and be the best at both?

Single. Married. Separated. Widower. It’s complicated. What do you tell your children your status is? There is nothing more confusing than a relationship status. In the old days, if you were together you were in a relationship. Today, there is this bizarre refusal to define a couple as a couple.

What can we say about finding the partner of your dreams when we are talking about children? We can say a lot but everyone else should probably shut their mouths. Yes, people say a lot of dumb stuff to their kids.

Are your children attractive? Yes, we did it. We just asked you to really look at your child and assess their relative beauty. Oh sure, mommy and daddy think that junior is a stud even though one eye is a full two inches lower than the other. And despite little Susie’s tooth that is growing through her upper lip, she is very pretty. So take a moment of this fine Tuesday and look at your kids with an objective observer’s eye.

Tuesday is kid day here at CoupleDumb. You really should know that by now. The following post may upset you. This is a warning to all those who believe their faith is the one and only. We are talking about spirituality and all the New Agey stuff out there. What does that have to do with kids?
